Fox’s The Gifted Casts Marvel Mutant Shatter

The cast of Fox’s The Gifted continues to expand with the addition of actor Jermaine Rivers as the Marvel Comics mutant Shatter. The news was first reported on Wednesday by IMDb.com, and then confirmed by Rivers on his Instagram page.

Introduced in 2002 in Marvel’s Morlocks #1 by Geoff Johns and Shawn Martinbrough, Shatter is a member of the Postman’s Chicago branch of Morlocks. When Shatter learned he was a mutant, he attempted to commit suicide, only to discover his crystalline skin was impenetrable. He gets his name from the crack in the side of his head where the bullet hit him.
